A new corn header made in Brazil comes with some unique features - at an economical price.

    What makes the header unique is that row width can be adjusted in 2-in. increments from 18 to 36 in. wide. To adjust row spacing you bolt on a different plastic insert inside each snout and slide gathering chain modules back and forth on a common driveshaft and mounting frame.

    The Bocuda header is made by Vence Tudo Co. in Brazil, and distributed by Superb Horticulture, Plymouth, Ind. The low profile header is painted red, yellow and black and is available in both 20 and 30-in. row spacings. The 20-in. models come in 9, 12, and 16-row models while the 30-in. model comes in 6 and 8-row models.

    All headers come with a coupling kit that allows you to fit the header to any brand of combine. Poly shields and an aluminum gearbox keep the weight down.

    "It's a lightweight, no frills, low profile corn header that sells for 20 to 40 percent less than North American brands," says Sam Erwin of Superb Horticulture. "The low profile plastic snouts work great in down corn.

    "Changing the header's row widths is a big job and isn't something you'll probably do overnight, but at least you're not married to a particular row width once you buy the header. The Bocuda header has manually-operated stripper plates, not hydraulically adjusted ones, so it works best for anyone with a uniform stand of corn."

    Erwin says Bocuda will give manufacturers of combine headers some competition. "For years, North American tractor manufacturers have had competition from foreign-made models, many of which sell for far less money. However, combine manufacturers such as Deere, Case IH and Agco have totally dominated the combine market. The Bocuda corn header offers a lower price with no sacrifice in quality. For example, Deere's 6-row header sells for $35,000 compared to $29,000 for ours."

    He says Vence Tudo manufactures equipment sized to Brazilian farms. "The biggest corn header they make is a 16-row, 20-in. model," he says.
